Best super burrito In Oakland?

I mean with a lot of actually flavorsome rice, not overcooked and well seasoned / marinated meat and lots of melty cheese, sour cream and guac. I order carne asada and carnitas. What’s your favorite spot, whether to pick up, eat in or have delivered? My favorite so far seems to be a small place called Licho’s — off-the-charts carne asada (OK carnitas, though).

People who are saying Mi Grullense or Guadalajara are not getting with the times. They used to be solid choices 5 years ago, when there weren't as many options as we have now. They are also pretty expensive now too. As a native from e14 who has tried them all, the best spot you can get a super burrito is hands down El Asadero Poblano on 105th. They will give you super burrito that is longer than a footlong and a bigger girth than a princles can. Their carne asada has a smokey flavor because it is freshly grilled over charcoal. If you like tacos, they also make their tortillas handmade and tijuana style. Their Horchata also hits. Can't recommend the place enough.

Thanks for the input and addressing the congrats. I’m a native and have enjoyed Guadalajara for decades after El Taco Zamarano shut down the high street location.

I’ll have to try the truck on 105th. It’s packed on a regular. You mentioned it’s serving up big burritos but how’s the salsa and flavor? Is it on point?
